34 (The Assignment Direct materials and manufacturing labor variances, solving unknowns, (CPA, adapted) On May 1, 2012, Bovar Company began the manufacture of a new paging machine known as Dandy. The _ company installed a standard costing system to account for Manufacturing costs. The standard costs for a unit of Dandy follow: Direct materials (3 Ib. at $§ per ib.) 15.00 Direct manufacturing labor (1/2 hour at $20 per hour) 10.00 Manufacturing overhead (75% of direct manufacturing labor costs) 0 The following data were obtained from Bovar’s records for the month of May: nues ‘Accounts payable cantral (for May's purchases of direct materials) Direct materials price variance $3,250 Direct materials efficiency variance 2,500 Direct manufacturing labor price variance 1,900 Direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance 2,000 ~ Rétual productian in May was 4,000 units of Dandy, and actual sales in May were 2,500 units. The amount shown for direct materials price variance applies to materials purchased during May. There was no beginning inventory of materials an May 1, 2012.
